In the drawings, wherein for the purpose jof illustration are shown preferred and modified forms of this invention, the letter A may. generally designate the improved doublegdeck type'of insect proof bread and cake box construction, which may comprise a base B; side standard construction Q adapted to support alower cake box D and a h nged uppervbread box E in a cooperative relationyn'ovel clamps F being provided in connection with the side standardconstructionC for the purpose 'of retaining the lower receptacle D-dn a secure relation upon the standard construction. y

1 A type of insect proof bread and-cakebox construction G'may be-nprovided, following somewhat the construction of the formof insect proof bread and cake boxconstruction A,-and including side standards K supporting a singlereceptacle L andfalso embodying "clamps M; identicallyv similar to the 1 clamps F above referred to for retaining the box L against displacement from the standards K. A. modified standard construction P may be used in lieu of the standard construction C above described.

Referring to the form of invention A, the base B may be of any approved construction, either of the extensible or non-extensible type. In the preferred instance, it is constructed of a single piece of material as illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings, and includes the body portion 15, with end extensions 16 upon the latter of which the standard constructions G are mounted. The extensions 16 are preferably provided with openings or sockets 17 extending upwardly from the lower surface 18 thereof.

The standard constructions C each include a lower standard portion 20, having a preferably reduced screw threaded shank 21 at the lower end thereof adapted to be slipped through an opening 24 in the extensions 16 of the base B, so that the lower end thereof projects into the pocket 17, and there detachably receives a split washer 25 and a detachable nut 26, the latter of which operates entirely within the pocket 17 to clamp the lower standard portion 20 in position. A collar 27 is provided for the lower standard portion 20, having an opening therein through which the screw threaded shank 21 extends, and in which it is preferably permanently located; the lower surface ofthe collar 27 resting upon the top surface of the base extension 16, to support the lower standard portion 20 in vertical relation. The standard portion 20ispreferably solid and at the upper end thereof the same is of uniform diameter. V

An intermediate standard portion 7 30 is preferably provided as a part of each of the standard constructions G, and'this standard construction 30 is preferably solid at the intermediate portion thereof, but at the lower end thereof it is tubular and provides the downwardly open socket opening 31 to detachably receive theupper end of the lower standard portion 20, as is illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawings. -The intermediate standard 30 at'the upper end thereof is also provided with a socket opening'32, and inwardly from the top, edge 33 of the intermediate standard portion 30 the same is downwardly recessed at 34, at diametrically opposed points, to provide retaining notches for receiving laterally extending retaining pins 35 formed on the upper standard portion 36 which will be subsequently described.

Intermediate its ends the intermediate standard portion 30 is preferably provided with a right angled supporting arm construction consisting of a shank 38. which extends in right angled relation from the body. of the intermediate standard portion 30, and at the free end thereof is provided with the divergent supporting arms 39 and 40, which at the free ends thereof have retaining fingers 41. This supporting arm construction may be readily termed a hook construction for receiving the handle or bail 42 of the cake box receptacle D, as will be more specifically described hereinafter. The upper surfaces of the arms 39 and 40 slope gradually downward towards the hooked ends or fingered ends 41, as illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawings.

The upper standard portion 36 is provided with a lower end 45 which seats within standard portion 30, and the retaining pins 35 are diametrically opposed for seating in the notches 34 to prevent the upper standard port-ion 36 from rotation with respect to the standard portion 30. This is important, for

at the upper end the upper standard portion ard constructions C facing inwardly, and the upper supporting arms 47 also facing inwardly. The cake receptacle D as above mentioned has thebail portions 42 supported at each of the s1de walls thereof, and these bails or handles are hooked over the supporting arms 39 and 40 and engage against the fin ers 41 wall 51- the socket or recess 32 of the intermediate ion to suspend the cake receptacle D with its bottom surface above the top surface of the base B, as illustrated in the drawings. The fact "that the arms 39 and 40 arediv ergent prevent the receptacle D from swinging, and the clamp structures F which will be subse- V quently described are provided to releasably hold the bails 42 in position against detachment and to maintain the cake receptacle D stationary 1n its suspended plane.

The upper receptacle E is a bread box re ceptacle, and at the sidewalls thereof the sockets 50 are provided of any approved con i struction, which detachably receive the head port1ons48of the upper supporting brackets 36 therein, in suehmanner as to 'hingedly or swingably mount the bread box receptacle E for swinging 1n a vertical the side standardsC. V

' The intermediate standard'portions 30 of eachof the standard constructions C ispreferably provided with a trap or bowl 50,

which in the lower end thereofis provided with an opening adapted toreceive the lower end of the intermediate standard portion 30 therein, until the inner surface of the trap 50 abuts against an annular flange 51 provided on the intermediate standard portion30, and

plane between 'ios when the parts are thus assembled the trap 50 is soldered about the opening'to the flange 51 or the standard portion 30. 1 The pocket 52 of the trap 50 of course faces upwardly andthe upper end of the intermediate standard section-3O projects upwardly thru the standard construction 0, and-in this screw threaded opening is adjustably received a screw threaded clamping bolt 61 having a thumb engaging head '62 thereon and a shoulder 63. A clampingplate' 65 of triangular formation is provided" as the clamping member for retaining the bail 42 in position,

and the same has an apertured extension 66 at an apex thereof, which-receives'the shank of the bolt 61, to swivelly mount the clamping plate 'or member 65in position; *From the pivot end of the, plate 65 the same increases in Width, with the side edges 67 and 68 thereof diverging, and at its free edge 68 the same is arcuated preferably concentric with the axis of the bolt 61. The length of "the retaining member or plate 65 is such that the free edge 69 thereof barely misses the retaining fingers 41 of the supporting arms 39 and 40, when the said plate or member 65 is being swunginto or out of bail retaining'relationJ As is illustrated in Figure 4 the retaining member 65-may be swung across'the -bail42 to retain the same in a stable and nondetachable position, where the same and the retaining member may be swung as illustrated in dotted lines in .Figure 4 to permit removal of the bail 42 and detachment of the receptacle D for cleansingpurposes.

A modified form of intermediate standard section P is illustrated for the standard construction of the double deck type of'insect proof bread and cake box construction,

and the same may comprise a tubular body 75, which at the upper and lower ends thereof is provided with sockets 7 6 and 7 7 formed vto detachably receive the lower and upper standard sections 20 and 36 therein, as above described. The tubular body 75 is slotted intermediate its ends or otherwise formed to permit the placement of a solid cylindrical portion 79 therein, ed in place and integral with this portion 79 is the right angled shank 38 similar to the shank 38 above mentioned. The shank 38 has a screw threaded opening 6O therein similar to the opening 60 above described,

' The form which is soldered or weldand the right angled supporting construction is otherwise formed similar tothat above described for the intermediate standard section 30.

proof construction G, the same includes a base H which may comprise extensible sections 80 and 81.

Referring to. the modified form of insect' The standard construction K may be 7 mounted at the outer ends of the sections 80 and 81 of the base, and these standard constructions K each includes a lower standard portion 82 formed identically the same as the standard construction 20 above described, in so far as its attachment to the basesections are concerned, and the same reference characters have been given the parts of the standard section 82 as are applied in the above de-. scriptioii to the standard section 20.

Each of the standard constructions K furthermore includes a second standard portion 84, which is mounted directly upon the top of the lower standard section 82, in adetachable relation thereon, and this standard construction 84 includes a vertical body portion 85, which inwardly from the lower end thereof is provided with an open socket 863 adapted to detachably receive the upper end'of the standard 82. At its extreme upper end the body 85 is provided with a right angled shank 86, having at the free end thereof the divergent receptacle supporting; arms 87 and 88 which at the free ends thereof are provided with the hooked or upturned fingers At its lower end the body 85 of the second standard portion 84 is provided with an annular flange 90, and a trap 91 is provided, of bowl-shaped formation, provided with an aperture in the lower end thereof, through which the lower tubular end of the standard body 85 is slipped, until the trap 91 abuts the flange 90, and the same are then connected by a leak-proof soldered joint. In this manner the body 85 of the upper standard 'portion 84 extends upwardly through the center of the compartment 92 formedby the trap 91, so that an insecticide liquid in the compartment or pocket 92 will surround the standard portion 84, as isreadily obvious, and at a point below the laterally extending supporting construction which supports the receptacle 'L.

of invention G is preferably adapted to support only a'single' receptacle L, and the bails 95 there'ofare hooked over.

the supporting arms 87 and 88 and retain the receptacle L in suspended 'relationby means of retaining'hooks or fingers 89; a s c The clamping construction M foreach of the standard constructionsK is the same as above described for the clamping 'construc-- tion F, and the same reference characters have been applied thereto as are applied'to the clamping construction F. The screw threaded bolt'or clamping member 61 engages in a screw threaded opening 97 formed in the right angled supporting shank 86 above described. 7,

From the foregoing description of this invention it is apparent that a novel insect proof bread and cake box construction has been provided, which includes novel improvements in cooperatively mounting a double decker type of box construction; the supportin standard constructions being novel in certain structural features for retaining the bread or cake receptacles thereon in an etiicient and easily removable relation.
